PERSPECTIVES: Silhouette of Virtue

Louie talks with Jay Richards, author of SILHOUETTE OF VIRTUE.  Dr. Richards is a forensic psychologist whose specialty is the evaluation and treatment of violent offenders, such as homicide perpetrators, mentally ill killers, and sexually violent predators. The novel is set in a small college town in Southern Illinois in 1973. The town is terrorized by a spree of sadistic assaults. The rapist tells the victims—all Asian women—that he is making them pay for America’s betrayal in Vietnam.
